Another inside job it seems

No inside job, I found a spot I liked and built there. I had 3 beacons activated and the area wasn't small, I got unlucky with someone flying over head or someone noticed where I had been using the nether. It happens with every map, I could do a lot more to protect myself but as time goes on I get lazier and lazier when it comes to covering my tracks.

@Yelloms

it's likely one

if you haven't been keeping a close eye on things lately major bases left and right has been getting raided and grefied lately

Unless it was an admin, which it wasn't, no one has ever been to my base, that was something I learned very early on. I have never warped anyone there, I have never told anyone coords, I have never even let on a general direction or distance from spawn. I built in common biomes so I could post pictures without giving to much away.

I promise you, I got unlucky, someone found it. It happens... every map.

I needed to move on after the raid so I built this a temp base, but it was such a pain to build it will probably end up being the center of my new place. It is my best attempt to copy Starbug from the TV show Red Dwarf, one of my favorites. This build is all my design which is why the proportions are a little off and the detail is lacking, but it was SUPPOSED to be a quick temp base. I will try to improve it as I go. Also forgive the Elytra pictures, my flying skills are lacking.

Thanks for checking it out!

Dug a hole to to planet core! Or at least that is what I wanted it to look like, didn't come out quite as cool as I had hoped but it at least makes a good floor for my new base. I will NEVER build with black concrete ever again...

What's wrong with black concrete? Although it was a total pain when I used it in a statue build, I could not tell if i placed 1 or 2 or 3, lol

LAVA under several layers of red and orange glass might change the earth core look. Also a few well placed pistons under the lava on timers could create a bubblying / splashing effect. Just a thought.

black concrete is a nightmare - i whole heartedly agree with yelloms

All you space builders should get together! @Yelloms, @Slainte_Alainn @bgmg and build a spectacular space themed base.

@humfrydog Lol this is a fantastic suggestion except it is already the case, the glow at the bottom is layered:

Lava
Air
Orange Glass
Red Glass
Orange
Red
Orange
Red
Red

Which was it's own nightmare. I will admit there are no pistons but its so hard to make out the lava through the glass that I think it might nullify the effect. I thought about using some yellow glass towards the center of the circle, but in my test world it just looked cheesy and obvious what I was trying.
